I didn't sleep at all, Its about 6am and i have been sitting in my bed since 10pm. I don't know whats wrong with me. I'm having mixed emotions about everything. Shouldn't i be happy, But why do i feel like crying? I finally move my legs, Placing them down on the floor. I feel like I'm walking for the first time. Steadily making my way over to a pile of "fresh" clothes.
It took me about 10 minutes to get them on, Its going to be a slow day. I walk down to the little table next to the sink, I pick up what i assume to be an apple and head out of the house. I walk around the seam for a while taking in the completely empty streets. Suddenly i smell bread. I follow my nose, Obviously to the bakery. I just gaze through the window gingerly. Peeta was there, Setting out the bread and cakes. I'm guessing the rest of his family were still in bed leaving him to do the work. I couldn't help but get a little bit angry. I know that i disliked Peeta, but after what he's been through they could respect him more. I was to busy thinking about this that i hadn't realized Peeta staring at me.
I felt my cheeks burning, yet i still went for the door. Stepping into the bakery and standing in front of the counter awkwardly. "Why where you looking through the window?" Peeta asked innocently. "I-I was just wondering why you're doing this, Why you're setting up the food whilst everyone is in bed. Especially with the games." "I enjoy it, Gale. They don't know that I'm here. Besides, I need something to take my mind off of it." I just nodded, Looking at the well designed cakes and muffins laid out before me. "Oh, I um. I have something for you actually." "What, For me?" I asked confused. Peeta pulled out a brown paper bag, Passing it over to me. I opened it. There was 3 loafs of fresh bread below a wide selection of blue fancy muffins. "Why are you-" Peeta interrupted before i could Finnish. "For yesterday. For telling that Peacekeeper that story"
"I can't take this Peeta, Its to much."I managed to croak out. "What? Of course you can! I know that we don't exactly like each other that much, And i guess i did kind of take Katniss away from you. But you deserve it Gale." Said Peeta. "No i ca-" "Well, Tell you what. If you can get me a squirrel, Then you can have them?" I smiled at Peeta shyly. Why was he being so nice to me. I placed the bag back onto the counter. "This doesn't mean we're friends Mellark!" I said briskly. Peeta just rolled his eyes before going to the room behind the counter.
I strolled out of the shop, Down the dusty streets and through the fence. I had been out hunting for about an hour now. I had 3 rabbits, a Turkey and 5 badgers. But yet i had no squirrels. It was as if they were hiding from me. Suddenly i see one, Scampering up a tree. I smirked as i pulled out my arrow and slotted it into the bow. It hit it, right through the chest. I was aiming between its eyes, But no one needs to know that.
I decided to take a rest and enjoy the nature before heading back to district 12. I laid my game bag on a rock near me and lay down in the grass. I felt my eyes getting heavy and i allowed myself to give in. Before i know it, I'm drifting off.
